toc

The toc element indicates to the processing software that the
author wants a table of contents generated at the particular location. If no
href attribute is specified on the toc element, an
external processor might generate a table of contents at this
location. If the href attribute references a topic or map, that topic or map
contains a manually created table of contents.

Content models

See appendix for information about this element in OASIS document type shells.

References a manual listing for the current
element. See The href attribute for detailed information on supported values
and processing implications. If no
href is specified, processors can choose to generate
an appropriate listing for this element. All of
the book listings operate in a similar manner; for
example, <toc
href="toc.dita"/> references a topic
which contains a manual table of contents, while
<toc/> indicates that a
processor should generate the table of contents.
